Highs are expected to top out in the mid-70s, with gusty northerly winds easing to single digits by afternoon. Skies should be mostly clear overnight, when lows settle in the mid-50s, and Saturday should be another pleasant day with highs in the low 80s under partly cloudy skies.

Chances for showers increase later in the day and overnight into Sunday, forecasters say. Highs on Mother’s Day will reach the low 80s.
